TO  E.  T. 

By  ROBERT  FROST 

I  slumbered  with  your  poems  on  my  breast 
Spread  open  as  I  dropped  them  half  read  through 
Like  dove  wings  on  a  figure  on  a  tomb 
To  see,  if,  in  a  dream  they  brought  of  you, 

I  might  not  have  the  chance  I  missed  in  life 
Through  some  delay,  and  call  you  to  your  face 
First  soldier,  and  then  poet,  and  then  both, 
Who  died  a  soldier-poet  of  your  race. 

I  meant,  you  meant,  that  nothing  should  remain 
Unsaid  between  us,  brother,  and  this  remained— 
And  one  thing  more  that  was  not  then  to  say : 
The  Victory  for  what  it  lost  and  gained. 

You  went  to  meet  the  shell's  embrace  of  fire 
On  Vimy  Ridge;  and  when  you  fell  that  day 
The  war  seemed  over  more  for  you  than  me, 
But  now  for  me  than  you — the  other  way. 

How  over,  though,  for  even  me  who  knew 

The  foe  thrust  back  unsafe  beyond  the  Rhine, 

If  I  was  not  to  speak  of  it  to  you 

And  see  you  pleased  once  more  with  words  of  mine?
